hello, I've been through more doctors than I can count on one hand and I am in Idaho. the doctors have either told me I am crazy or admitted that they aren't going to test me because they can get fined from the government for having any patients diagnosed with Lyme. the most accurate lab to get tested from is IGeneX in California. you can do research to find they have the best reviews compared to any other lab. you can call their lab and order a lab kit be shipped directly to your house and go get blood drawn. you'll need a doctor or nurse practitioner to sign the blood papers first. I am having to travel out of state to get a doctor to sign my papers. I personally know over a dozen people with Lyme in my area even though "it doesn't exist in the west". feel free to DM me for more info. you can learn a lot from Google and also Lyme Ninja podcast and the ILADS website . best wishes

you live near one of the best lyme experts: Dr Horowitz, in NY. do his diagnostic questionnaire online at http://www.tiredoflyme.com/horowitz-lyme-msids-questionnaire.html
he is right on about needing to address it from all angles and all levels. read his book,why cant i get better. i did the Buhner protocol and am having great results so far... and just FYI, your dr cannot get fined for having a lyme dx patient, but there is controversy and a ton of misinformation out there and dr's would rather not deal with it so brush you off. find an llmd through ilads.. dr's are supposed to tell you (according to gov best practice standards) that a negative lyme test DOES NOT MEAN you dont have lyme.

lyme is a clinical dx so this is why you need to see a lyme literate medical doctor. regular doctors dont know what to look for
